Ignoring all the speculation and rumours, when Sky do actually announce the availabilty date, how will they do this? Where will we expect to see the official announcement of availability and prices?

I'd expect a press release and an announcement on their web site. There are plenty of people here with their ear to the ground waiting for the announcement, so expect it to be posted (and confirmed) as soon as it happens.

I'm not so sure. It's probably best to do a soft launch until they can ascertain demand and make sure they can meet orders given the boxes they have. I'm hoping they start off low key until their systems are all in place rather than seeing an xBox 360 launch fiasco, which alienated a lot of people.

Ill be gutted if its then, havent they always said early 2006? In my mind that means the first half of the year. Running up to xmas is not early 2006- id be livid if thats the case!!

The launch will happen in Spring 2006 (hopefully), but Murdoch says that the strong promotion of it won't happen until the later. I assume it's because boxes will be in short supply (but he didn't say that).
